Cindy Blackman
(SCROLL DOWN FOR SOME INFO IN ENGLISH)
Batería
Cindy comenzó su carrera musical como artista callejero de Nueva York, luego ingresó a Berklee College of Music en Boston y más adelante estudió con el legendario maestro Alan Dawson. Se trasladó a Nueva York en los años 80 y desde entonces, ha sido vista y escuchada por millones de personas en todo el mundo sobretodo por sus 11 años de trayectoria con Lenny Kravitz.
Cindy es considerada uno de los mejores bateristas del mundo. Su trabajo es sólido, confiable y puede pasar fácilmente del jazz al rock y hasta el funk.
Blackman asegura que su infancia le predeterminó el futuro. Su madre y su abuela tocaban música clásica, pero su padre era un melómano y amaba el jazz. Además, su hermana, que durante un tiempo quiso ser cantante, se la pasaba escuchando a los Beatles y a los Stones. Así es que en su cabeza figuran como referencias desde John Bonham (Led Zeppelin) hasta el jazzero Max Roach.

Drums
Born in Ohio and raised in Connecticut, Cindy began her musical career as a New York street performer. She spent three semesters at Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts and also studied with legendary teacher Alan Dawson.
Cindy moved to New York City in the 80´s and since that time, she has been seen and heard by millions of people all over the world performing with her own group and during her 11 year stint with retro funk rocker Lenny Kravitz, since 1993.
In 1998, Cindy released her first drumming instructional video entitled, Multiplicity through Warner Brothers publications. Cindy has been touted as one of the hottest drummers in the business, by the Star-Gazette and is regarded as one of the top drummers in the world. She is a solid, dependable drummer who can easily move from straight-ahead jazz to rock to funk and back again.
She´s upheld the backbeat and created texture for a veritable Who´s Who in jazz: Jackie McLean, Joe Henderson, Don Pullen, Hugh Masekela, Pharaoh Sanders, Sam Rivers, Cassandra Wilson, Angela Bofill, Bill Laswell, Buckethead. In early 2000, Cindy released the latest of her several acclaimed solo albums entitled Works on Canvas. She released her seventh solo release Someday in 2004.
Some drummers act, some react. Some keep time, others create it. Cindy Blackman is among the few who can.... says Mike Zwerin of the International Herald Tribune. One listen to her latest release, Works On Canvas (featuring J.D. Allen-Tenor Saxophone, Carlton Holmes-Piano/Fender Rhodes, George Mitchell-Bass) and you´ll agree.
Talking Drum said, You can be assured that Ms. Blackman will be around for a long time to come.. She is thunder. She is fire. She is energy. She is passion. She is Cindy Blackman.
According to Cindy herself, The life of music is bigger than all of us.
